The United Kingdom is playing with fire. In the name of human rights, Labour celebrated its rise to power promising a “fair and humane” asylum system. One year later, the picture is brutal: 111,000 asylum requests, more than 32,000 people crammed into hotels, and a country on the brink of social explosion.
The ruling of a judge in Epping —ordering the eviction of migrants from a hotel— has become a banner for anti-immigration groups now planning a nationwide offensive. Meanwhile, Labour preaches solidarity in Parliament but prepares to relocate migrants into abandoned tower blocks and old student residences. Humanitarianism, or simply the management of social waste?
The contradiction is obscene: past riots are denounced as acts of hate, yet the fire is fed with ambiguous rhetoric and improvised solutions. The UK risks normalising violence as a tool of migration policy, whether on the streets or in the courts.
Hotels are not the problem. The problem is a State that shouts “rights” with one hand while signing deportation orders with the other. And in this contradiction, the most vulnerable —migrants and local communities— are thrown into the arena of a confrontation the government neither knows how nor wants to defuse.
The UK is not only facing a debate about asylum. It is facing its own hypocrisy.
“When people grow tired, retribution may thunder.”
The warning of that old Colonel echoes louder than ever today. What is unfolding in the UK outside migrant hotels is no different from what is simmering in Italy and across much of Europe: a dangerous mix of political hypocrisy, institutional improvisation, and social exhaustion.
Retribution does not always strike where expected. But when it comes, no judge and no hotel can contain it.
